25.5.3 Conguring Your Wireless Card as an
Access Point
If your wireless card supports access point mode, you can use NetworkManager for
conguration.
NOTE: Availability of Options
Depending on your system set-up, you may not be allowed to congure con-
nections. In a secured environment, some options might be locked or require
root permission. Ask your system administrator for details.
1
Click the NetworkManager icon and select Network Settings Wireless.
2
Click Use as Hotspot, conrm the pop-up and enter the root password to continue.
A Network Name (SSID) and a Security Key are automatically generated and shown
in the Network dialog. The network name will be based on the hostname of your
computer. Other devices will need this information to connect to the hotspot that
you have created.
IMPORTANT: Unprotected Wireless Networks Are a Security Risk
To restrict access to your access point and to secure your connection, use
encryption. Depending on the abilities of your network card, you can choose
between various WEP and WPA–based encryptions. If you are not sure which
technology is best for you, read Section 24.3, “Authentication” (page 433).
3
To change the SSID, encryption options (WEP, WPA, etc.) or the security key of
the hotspot:
3a
Click Options next to the Stop Hotspot button.
3b
Enter the root password to continue.
3c
Change the SSID on the Wireless tab or the encryption details on the Wireless
Security tab.
